Today’s WPOI is the man behind ChurchPr.es, Dallas Bass. When we first encountered Dallas and ChurchPr.es we had to know more about his thinking and why he launched the project. And yes, he lives in Texas. Also, he runs ChurchPr.es on the side, which is very impressive. Want to know more? Check out his interview after the jump.

The first time I heard of the Yeoman stack I nearly laughed out loud – for those that aren’t inclined to enjoy language arts (yes, that was me in school) “yeoman” is a word that doesn’t exactly describe a client-side stack: A man holding and cultivating a small landed estate; a freeholder A person qualified for certain duties and rights, such as to serve on juries and vote for the knight of the shire, by virtue of possessing free land of an annual value of 40 shillings A servant in a royal or noble household, ranking between a sergeant and […]
I figured I would share my creative space today. It’s probably not going to be anything spectacular like the others. Mine is simple. Starbucks.
It’s no secret that our team here loves to play as hard as we work – in fact, philosophically it’s one of the reasons that we founded our company and named it 8BIT – we believed that our greatest work would be done when we saw it as “play” – in other words, we could work in an environment and on products that were just as fun as the entertainment that we loved. It’s where recreation meets our vocation meets our occupation, in a number of ways. As a result, we’ve made a lot of decisions based on that rubric and foundation and are hyper-critical […]
First-off, big congrats to Siobhan and her new role, which started this week! Audrey Capital, the angel investment firm led by Matt Mullenweg, will give Siobhan a full-time role which means that she’ll be putting “pause” on her Words for WP contract firm for the time being. What will Siobhan be doing instead? Well, she’ll be doing a lot of what she’s already been doing except on a much bigger scale (and perhaps paycheck): It’s no surprise to anyone that one of my focuses is going to be working on WordPress documentation. This will be in terms of planning and […]
South by Southwest is coming oh so shortly and unfortunately I won’t be able to attend this year. Drat. Now, I feel like I have some really good reasons behind that, namely, WordCamp Atlanta 2013, so I’m not losing out too badly. But it’s always been a good show and an incredible atmosphere to be a part of. The digital and interactive piece is not a mainstay in the belly of high tech yearly conferences and a lot of innovation and disruptive technologies are showcased each year to a hungry audience. Automattic will be there as well and they are […]
We referenced CoSchedule previously and didn’t have much information at that time because it was just a sneak peek but we’ve finally heard a few sound bytes from them over at their blog about what they are planning on releasing and it keeps getting better and better. Our goal is to ease the scheduling frustrations that come with blogging, social media, working in a team, and even email marketing. We believe that scheduling should be easy, intuitive, and even a little bit fun. It seems that CoSchedule is going to be a management solution for your blog’s content – and […]
An announcement on the WordCamp Europe blog today reveals the dates and location for what is set to be the biggest WordCamp Europe will see in 2013.
That is what was apparently spent on $40 theme in what appears to be a massive misuse of government funds. The website, Free State Online (having some issues being pulled up – must be getting hit hard with load times), was the provincial government that spent nearly $15MM (R140MM) on it’s newly designed website. The contract, a 3-year deal signed 2 years ago. It is argued that it wasn’t $140MM but rather $40M, but that’s still over $4 million dollars for a website. Whatever it may be the margin for the contractor is still a little “high”:
